strss7 0.9a.4 Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Mar 15, 2006)
OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9a.4 of the OpenSS7 SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP strss7 package.
The STREAMS SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP package contains a wide array of SS7, SIGTRAN, ISDN and VoIP
drivers and components for Linux Fast-STREAMS. This is the public release package which has most of
the components removed. Subscriber and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project have access to the full
array of components.

Changes necessary for __LP64__ compatible builds. Changes to support 32-bit ioctl
compatibility for __LP64__ architectures. Binary compatibility should not have been
disrupted. At the same time as the ioctl32 changes, TRANSPARENT ioctl support for most
of the IO controls for the ldl(4) driver has been added.

Changes to satisfy gcc 4.0.2 compiler.

Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on x86_64 architecture. Some
bug corrections resulting from gcc 4.0.2 compiler warnings.

Corrected build flags for Gentoo and 2.6.15 kernels as reported on mailing list.

Initial corrections for and testing of SMP operation on Intel 630 Hyper-Threaded SMP on x86_64.
This package should now run well on N-way Xeons even with Hyper-Threading enabled.

Corrections and validation of 32-bit compatibility over 64-bit on x86_64. Should apply well to
other 64-bit architectures as well.

This is a public alpha release of the package. Please see
README-alpha in the release.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds rpms for a
wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM-based distributions,
and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.
